  • Survey of remaining primary and old forest on Quadra Island

    Our survey of primary and old forest began on Quadra Island in 2018 and continues. To date we have mapped approximately 650 hectares of such forest in 176 areas on Quadra. We are adding mapping for the other islands. In the map below, primary and old forest on Quadra Island is indicated by the areas outlined in yellow. Areas outlined in blue are older mature forest otherwise known as old forest recruitment forest. For more information about an area, click on it and use the link in the dialogue block that appears. You can pan around the map by clicking on it and dragging. Use the + or - buttons to zoom in or out.

     

  • There are two areas of old/mature forest along the first ridge above Kanish Bay, visible in the drone photographs below. To date they have not been explored on the ground by the project.

  • The map below is TimberWests account of forest by age class on Quadra Island. It doesnt indicate all of the old forest that has been confirmed by the Discovery Islands Forest Conservation Project, but most of the areas shown in brown are areas of old forest (>250 years).
